《Sinbad: High King of the Seas》Chapter 11: "Artemyra, City of the Sky!"
Advertisement
The group heads towards the boat. Mystras stares out at the ocean shocked.
"This is the ocean?" Mystras asks, "So, where are we going next?"
"We'll be going to a small place that is near here. A war princess rules the Kingdom filled with mainly women." Jafar says.
"Women?" Mystras says.
"Isn't the world grand?!" Sinbad asks.
"YES!" Mystras says excitedly.
"If you two are only excited because it's women I'll kick you both off this cliff right now!" Annalise says.
"Eh?" They say in unison.
"Awe, why do you have to be that way?" Sinbad asks.
"She secretly loves you. That's got to be it." Mystras says and Annalise glares as Sinbad laughs.
"That's insane. And for suggesting it. You can go off the Cliff." Sinbad says and steps to the side as Annalise runs to attack Mystras. Sinbad grabs her and holds her tightly making her blush while she was angry.
"Let me go! I'm going to kill him!" Annalise says.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Mystras says. Annalise yells at Sinbad to let her go and he laughs as he holds her tightly. She squirms against his grasp and yells at him still and everyone laughs.
"Annalise, this place is near the Dark Continent." Jafar says.
"Wasn't that where you were born?" Sinbad asks and Annalise shrugs.
"I don't know where I was born. My earliest memories are of me being beaten horribly by the man I ran from. I really hope we never see that horrid man again either." Annalise says. They look up to see a bird that flies down and reveals some women.
"Whoa." Sinbad says. The women fly ahead then come back.
"Beautiful women!" Mystras says and Sinbad stares up at the women with wide eyes.
"If you can make it to land, we'll be impressed. I'll show you a good time." One of the women says, "Last time a bunch of men tried it didn't go so well they were trembling."
"I'll be looking forward to tonight." Sinbad says.
"I wasn't serious!" The woman says at the same time Annalise hits in him the head with Mystras's weapon handle. He rubs his head and looks at her.

"What was that for?!" Sinbad asks.
"You're being an idiot again!" She says and then walks away angrily.
"Sometimes I don't understand her." Sinbad says.
"I didn't know you had a lady aboard. Perhaps you should let her lead you to land." The woman says. They ride away on their bird. When they dock Annalise yells at Sinbad who sighs.
"I don't think she wants to come." Sinbad says. They head down the path towards the valley.
"You know if you didn't flirt with every woman and play with Annalise's heart at the same time maybe she wouldn't be angry at you!" Jafar says.
"What's that supposed to me? I give her all sorts of attention. I always have. Excuse me, if it's done nothing. She barely shows expression half the time so how can I tell if she likes me or not?" Sinbad says.
"You are really dense Sin." Hinahoho says.
"Eh? Why do you say that?" Sinbad asks.
"Even we can tell the reason she follows you is because she loves you." Hinahoho says.
"She kills people who say that you know." Sinbad says, "She's my oldest friend. I may like her and don't mind people calling her my girlfriend or wife but I'm not sure if I care for her like that. She's a wonderful girl and yeah, I get jealous when men flirt with her, but I thought it was just me being like a brother. We were partially raised like that anyway."
"You can be such an idiot." Jafar says. They get far ahead and when the group starts yelling at each other, Annalise sighs.
"You guys are idiots." Annalise says, "I could hear you complaining from the boat. I figured you wouldn't survive without me."
"Annalise! Carry me!" Sinbad says and Annalise glares at him.
"Jafar would you like a piggy back?" Annalise says.
"I'm not that young." Jafar says. Annalise giggles at him and Jafar sighs.
"Fine." Jafar says.
After making across the broken part, the group camps for a little then keeps going with Annalise leading them. Jafar and her keep the guys going and by morning, they find the city. The guys realize that they stink and Annalise sighs as she tries to get a place for them to be cleaned up before their meeting with the Queen. The women welcome Annalise right away and ask to braid her hair. She looks at them and blinks confused. They go to the bottom of the valley and the guys get cleaned up before they head back up to see the Queen.

Upon arrival, the woman at the door lets them in. Annalise stares at the woman as she was getting an odd feeling from her. She blinks confused as she thinks. Sinbad and the guys pay respect to the Queen and when she insults them Annalise stands up angrily. The Queen looks at her and her eyes narrow as Annalise glares at her.
"Ah, a woman, what do you have to say?" The Queen asks.
"I don't care where your dislike in men came from, but insulting my friends... I won't tolerate that! I grew up with Sinbad, he's the kindest person I have ever met and grown fond of. Just because they aren't women doesn't mean you should dismiss them." Annalise says.
"Ah, a feisty girl. How cute." The Queen says.
"Annalise, leave this to me." Sinbad says and goes up and tries to seduce the Queen. Annalise glares at him and while the Queen holds her blade up to Sinbad's neck.
"Sinbad!" Annalise says and the guys are all surrounded by women. Annalise stares shocked as she was surrounded as well. Annalise looks around at all the women and she looks over at Sinbad.
"Hmm, you've been deceived by this man. You thought with your friendship and past that he'd love you. But it seems all he cares about is seducing women all over the world." The Queen says. Annalise blushes while Sinbad looks at the Queen. Baal is taken from him and Annalise stares shocked as the girls take everything off the guys while holding Annalise still. Annalise covers her own eyes while Mystras, Jafar and Sinbad are stripped down. Annalise hears the guys scream and she opens her eyes to find the guys being pushed off the cliff.
"NO!" Annalise says but the women hold her back, "MYSTRAS! JAFAR! SINBAD!!" She sits on the edge of the cliff and tears come to her eyes. She sobs as the women deal with Hinahoho.
"Bring them back." Annalise says.
"What?" The Queen asks.
"BRING THEM BACK!" Annalise says angrily as she turns to look at the Queen.
"It's the cliff of death." The Queen says and looks at Annalise with a curious look, "Why would you care for a man who deceived you?"
"I don't just care for him! I love him! Sinbad saved my life when I was little and I have always had a deep loyalty for him, but recently I've come to understand that I love him. How dare you throw him off the cliff?! He's different from any other men you've encountered! He treats every woman he meets like Royalty! He might flirt with them to make me jealous, but he worries about me and cares for me! He entered a Dungeon just so he could protect me and his mother!" Annalise yells angrily. Tears fall down her cheeks while she stares at the Queen.
"Well it's too late now." The Queen says. The women leave the cliff and Annalise looks down at the dirt and claws at it angrily. There is no way that Sinbad could be dead. He was stronger than that. He always has been stronger than that. She closes her eyes and focuses her ears. She hears Jafar yelling at Sinbad and Mystras and her eyes widen as she stands up and makes the leap off the cliff.
Annalise lands in the water making a big splash and when she reaches the surface her eyes widen to see the three guys staring at her with just a leaf covering them.
"Annalise!" Sinbad says.
"Idiot." Annalise says and Sinbad pouts as if he wasdepressed while she dries off. She keeps watch while the guys sleep and theydiscover that they are in a snake swamp and Jafar insists that they eat thesnakes. Annalise rolls her eyes as she watches the guys cook snakes and eatthem. She looked up for a way to get out of the valley.

Apostasy - The Lost History of Goge Vandire (A Warhammer 40,000 fan fiction)
DISCLAIMER: The characters in this story are inspired by the background of the Warhammer 40,000 intellectual property that belongs to Games Workshop Ltd. This is fan fiction, and no challenge to their ownership rights is intended. Goge Vandire is a name written in to the annals of Imperial history in blood. Often literally. No single mortal has commanded authority on the scale at which he exercised it at his height. His name is as synonymous with unspeakable evil as that of the Warmaster, Horus himself. And yet he was just a man. Where did such a man come from? What drove him to the steps he took to secure power to himself and, once he had it, how did he come to misuse it so grievously? I have scoured the records - many of them once thought lost or placed under the unbreakable seal of the Inquisition - to uncover his forgotten story, piecing together his childhood, his apprenticeship, his rise to power and his descent into madness and death. It is not the story you might expect...

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
